BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for a candle.Particularly, it relates to a completely burning device for a candle. Inthis invention, the candle can completely burn. This invention iswind-resistant. It is easy to clean up after completely burning. It hasa beautiful appearance. And, the manufacturing cost is lowered.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Referring to FIG. 8, it is a traditional candle seat 90 with a burningcandle 80 thereon. Its disadvantages includes:

[1] The burning candle will drip and cannot completely burn. While thecandle 80 is burning, a lot of drips 81 generate. Some of these drips 81will stay around the outer surface and the bottom of the candle 80.These drips 81 will become solid eventually. Such solid stuff is veryhard to clean up. In addition, at the final stage of this burningprocess, the remaining candle 80 will totally melt out as a liquidstate. At this moment, its wick will fall down because of lack ofsupport. Then, it will stop burning. Finally, the liquid object willbecome solid later. This solid object is very hard to clean up (or to bescraped off).

[2] Its appearance is poor. While this candle 80 is burning, thesepoor-looking drips 81 appear. Once the user stops the candle's flame,these solid drips will stick on the outer surface of the candle 80.Thus, the appearance of the used candle 80 is poor.

[3] It is not wind-resistant. The flame of the traditional candle 80 iseasily to be influenced (or the flame is gone) by the wind, especiallyin an outdoor location (such as outside of a temple or a church). So, itis not wind-resistant.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a completelyburning device for a candle. In which, the candle can completely burn.There is no waste.

The second object of the present invention is to provide a completelyburning device for a candle. It is wind-resistant, is easy to clean upafter completely burning and has a beautiful appearance.

The other object of the present invention is to provide a completelyburning device for a candle. In this invention, the manufacturing costis lowered.

In order to achieve above-mentioned objects, a technical solution isprovided as follows. A completely burning device for a candle comprises:

a base having an upper recess, said upper recess being disposed with aheat conducting rod for securing a candle and for conducting heat tosaid upper recess, said upper recess having a upper supporting edge andat least one venting hole; and

a movable cover having a predetermined weight and being movablevertically on said base, said movable cover including:

(a) heat-conducting conical portion having a central hole, an innersloped surface and a lower edge;

(b) horizontal extending portion extending from said lower edge andcorresponding to said upper supporting edge; and

(c) covering portion for covering outside said base with an air gap.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is a completelyburning device for a candle. It mainly comprises a base 10 and a movablecover 20.

Concerning this base 10, it has an upper recess 11. The upper recess 11is disposed with a heat conducting rod 12 for securing a candle 40 andfor conducting heat to the upper recess 11. This upper recess 11 has anupper supporting edge 111 and at least one venting hole 112.

With regard to this movable cover 20, it has a predetermined weight andis movable vertically on the base 10. The movable cover 20 including:

(a) a heat-conducting conical portion 21 having a central hole 211, aninner sloped surface 212 and a lower edge 213;

(b) a horizontal extending portion 22 extending from the lower edge 213and corresponding to the upper supporting edge 111;

(c) a covering portion 23 for covering outside the base 10 with an airgap (connecting with the venting hole 112);

Of course, a wind-resistant decorating portion 30 can be added. Thewind-resistant decorating portion 30 has a connecting portion 31 forsecuring on the movable cover 20. The shape of wind-resistant decoratingportion 30 can be cylindrical, conical, curved or any other specificshape. It preferably is semi-transparent so that the light of the candlecan emit out warmly and softly.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, they show three burning stages when the candle40 burns. In FIG. 3, the movable cover 20 is placed on a top conicalportion 41 of the candle 40. At this stage, the wick 42 of this candle40 starts to burn. The top of the candle 40 has a higher temperature, sothat the top of the candle 40 is melted as a liquid state (limited bythe heat-conducting conical portion 21) near the burning wick 42.Gradually, the heat also transfers to the heat-conducting conicalportion 21. Thus, this hot heat-conducting conical portion 21 willsoften the contacting portion of this candle 40.

Gradually, due to the weight of the movable cover 20, the movable cover20 tends to press down the softened contacting portion of the candle 40.The candle 40 gradually becomes shorter. Also, the movable cover 20 willgradually move down. Referring to FIG. 4, the movable cover 20 lowers toa position that just contacts with (and supported by) the uppersupporting edge 111 base 10.

As the candle 40 continues to burn, the heat will transfer to the upperrecess 11 via the heat conducting rod 12 (that contacts with the wick 42and flame). Thus, the remaining candle 40 will completely melt out as aliquid (or nearly-liquid) state as shown in FIG. 5. The function of theventing holes 112 is to provide some fresh air inside the upper recess11. Also, the remaining short wick 42 still burns (the flame is small asshown in FIG. 5) until the candle 40 is completely burned.

So, the remaining candle 40 finally becomes a liquid state and it cancompletely or almost completely burn. There is no waste.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 6 and FIG. 7, they are the second andthe third preferred embodiments. The base 10 can be modified and furtherincludes a lamp screen 13 (also having the wind-resistant function).Therefore, this invention becomes a lamp related product (by providingthe candle's warm light instead of electric bulb's light).

Thus, the advantages and functions of the present invention can besummarized as follows.

[1] The candle can completely burn. Due to the unique design of themovable cover and related elements, the candle can completely burn.There is no waste. It will solve the dripping problem and minimize thewaste of used candles.

[2] it is wind-resistant. Because the wind-resistant decorating portionor the lamp screen can be added, it can effectively block the wind.Therefore, once the candle is burned, it can keep this burning conditionstable so that this invention is wind-resistant.

[3] It is easy to clean up after completely burning. After the candlehas been burned, there is no waste (or just a little waste). Theclean-up work for the candle's drips is prevented. Thus, it is easy toclean up after completely burning.

[4] It has a beautiful appearance. Depending on the user's requirement,the base (including the lamp screen), the movable cover and thewind-resistant decorating portion can be designed to have a beautifulappearance.

[5] The manufacturing cost is lowered. Because the heat-conductingconical portion and the horizontal extending portion of the movablecover can be made by simply punching or pressing a metal plate, itsmanufacturing cost can be lowered.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention,not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the aboveembodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the presentinvention.
